Episode 048:Discovering Your Strengths in College with Career Development Advisor Kristin Williams
Highlights from the episode:
-Red flags you are in the wrong major
-Understanding your personal values
-Saying yes to the important things
-Using your strengths in a variety of careers
-Strengths can help you explore and bring more self-awareness
Memorable Quotes:
-"When we get to know our strengths, it opens up doors of possibilities"
-"I didn't let myself switch (majors) because I felt like I had something to prove to myself... maybe to my family"
-"I would show up to things and I wouldn't be myself because I would be so stressed out... But I would be there because I said I would be there."
The only recommendation Kristin had for finding a job - Don't put so much pressure on finding one thing.

It's time for you to drive. In Episode 047, we talk about how to take control of your college experience. I break this down into three areas:
Clarity - in what you are working towards (major, career, life goals, purpose).
Confidence - focusing on what you need to do in college to become the person you want to be after college (who do you want to become?)
Community - finding your group - to support you and be real with you.
What else would help you take control of your college experience?

In this episode, I did sort of a mini Ted Talk, called a Meg Talk at a Women's conference at University of Colorado, Boulder. I wanted to share it with you all, mainly because I was super scared, but I still did it. I also talk about the importance of stepping out of your comfort zone and finding out what is possible for you.
Would love to hear your thoughts!

In this episode I share my story and how my past has had such a huge impact on my purpose. The activity that I did really helped me get clearer about important events in my life and I was able to see common themes I was not already aware of.
I highly recommend doing this activity for yourself and sharing with one of your friends, your family, with me, or even on the podcast. It can be really powerful! Let me know how I can support you :)
